Pavlova

Added by Linda Vittone 
to "FOODILCIOUS "COOKS @ WORK""



When my husband tastes my Pavlova he always says that this is what the clouds in heaven must taste like- now, I don't know about that, but its such a simple recipe that if it keeps the "hubster" happy, then why not? Afterall, isn't cooking for loved ones what its all about?
Linda's mixed Berry Pavlova:
Ingredients:
*4 Egg Whites
*180g Castor sugar
*1/2 teasp white wine Vinegar
*1 teasp. Corn Flour
Method:
*Preheat oven to 170C. Use a plate to draw an 8 inch diameter circle on a sheet of baking paper. Grease inner circle with butter and sprinkle with flour. Put on baking tray.
*Whisk egg whites in a clean dry bowl until stiff. Gradually Whisk in 180gr sugar until glossy and thick.
*Fold in (gently) vinegar and corn flour and spead over prepared circle on baking tray.
Put in oven for about 30 mins- keep an eye on it, if it goes brown then lower oven. Switch off oven and leave to cool completely in oven.
*Remove and overturn on a fancy serving dish. Peal off baking sheet.Leave upside down.
The Topping:
*250ml double cream
*3 tablespoons Castor sugar
Whip until thick
400gr Mixed berries for example: quatered strawberries and whole blackberries, blueberries, rasberries...or even just strawberries. Mix in a bowl, cover with 2 tablespoons sugar and leave to rest in fridge for 1 hour. this creates a decadent syrupy coating on these jewel like fruits.
To assemble:
Cover the pavlova with the whipped cream and top with berry mix.
Some people add other fruit like Kiwis which will be a lovely contrast to the reds and blues of the berries.....tastes divine after "sitting" for 20mins before serving.
